Well. That’s the last time I’ll be using modern tyres for anything.
Popped in at lunch to get them fitted and swap the front tires. Waited for 3 hrs only to be returned one wheel with scuffs. Guy told me it couldn’t have been them and didn’t want anything to do with it despite me explaining that the wheels have not left the car since being picked up. Could see the guy taking the tires off being ham fisted with it.
Offered to not charge me for anything. Drove away frustrated with the whole thing instead of enjoying them. Now left with one scuffed wheel.
Apologies, this is meant to be a refurb thread not tires related. Not sure if this is a specific branch issue(Dargan) but I know people raved about the company.

Had a similar experience at a different branch. Marked one of mine in a couple of places and the fitter denied it. Sent an email with photos and someone at head office gave me a call. They disputed their depot damaged it but agreed to cover the cost to refurb it.
Took a fair bit of chasing to get the invoice paid to the refurb company, but got there in the end.
Worth a try.
Hard to tel I. Picture but does look like it’s gone down through the silver and hit the black base.Hard to tell in the pic.
Looks like it might polish out!?

Keeping an eye on the tyre fitter like……
It’s fecking hateful feeling like someone’s just staring at you working on mint rims. Thankfully it’s a rare thing down it Fermanagh. Could get away with dropping most on the floor

The guy was new and didn't know about staggered setups. He had fitted a front one wheel on to the rear without thinking/realising until I pointed it out.

That’s why I travel miles to @RubberLover
Ivan always takes as much care as he possibly can, things can go wrong anywhere though but it’s worse when you can see the fitter not taking the care you expected.

Yep I wouldn't go anywhere else. One of mels wheels got accidentally marked and they told us straight away and sent it for a refurb without a second thought.
Everyone is dead on to talk to aswell.
I was up with them recently for some alignment. Explained why it couldn't be done in good detail, and sent me on my way until I got a few bits sorted before coming back. Wouldn't take any payment at all for their time. The guys in Carrick made a great first impression.

Was that on the boxster?
5 Series.
To keep it on topic, Boxster wheels though do need done after Enniskillen Tyre Centre damaged them. Still not decided on what to do with them. Trying to hold out until the tyres need changed to reduce the need for anyone to touch them.

Think it was 62-65 plus vat for autoworx to do my rims. No variation in price due to size

Powdertek are £240.
Though it depends how fussy you are.
I got my track wheels done with them and looking at JCM's M5 wheels above, mine have the same little imperfections...
Grand for track wheels, but think I'd pay more to have them refurbed to a better standard elsewhere if they were my main road wheels on a nice car.
Just my opinion of course!

I did notice those but didn't like to say.

By far the best refurb I've ever had done was Bodyworx in Magheralin (Had my Rays on my Subaru refinished in Silver). Though I suppose everyone has their off days too. They did loose my center caps however, but I just 3d printed another set and painted them at home.
Isn't there a Cobra Customs in Newry now if so they would be worth a call.
I had asked them about it ages ago but they wanted me to go for a full refurb on all the wheels. I only wanted the damaged wheel sorted so I didn't bother with it.
Could try Marron Alloy in Newtown or DN Tyres in Rathfriland
